Berry Chocolate Smoothie Raw Jar
I am pretty consistent with my breakfasts… eggs, avocado toast, fresh juice, oatmeal or smoothies. When I make my smoothies thinner or make fresh juice, I like to use my glass Raw Jars. My Raw Jars are also a favorite of mine for measuring my water intake because on the side there is a liquid measurer. I found this product on Instagram at the beginning of this year, and I’ve been using it every day since. I have two of them, a small jar and a large. I like to use the large jar for my juices and water and the small jar for my smoothies. I’ve shared a smoothie…

Heavenly Oatmeal Bars
Hey y’all! I have been dying to share this recipe that is bound to satisfy your sweet tooth, but still skips a lot of the unhealthy calories from inhaling a box of white powdered donuts (replace this with your favorite unhealthy treat, powdered donuts just happen to be my particular weakness). I make a big batch of this at the beginning of the week and keep them in a glass container in the fridge for easy access.

Two Ingredient Pancakes and Raspberry Chia Seed Jam
When Nolan started eating actual foods, I was so excited! He could suck down a food pouch in no time! We researched about baby-led weaning and started introducing thicker foods a month or so after purees, and he loved that, too. He started out just holding things like broccoli florets and scrubbing his gums with them and evolved into avocado fingers and banana splits. Introducing him to foods this way has led us to notice a significant difference in him and other children his age who just ate purees. He is not a picky eater and is willing to eat more healthy options than not. Don’t get me wrong, if…
